Tips for Maintaining Your Dumpster Enclosure

This Waste Caddy Will Make Your Job So Much Easier!

Tenants judge their landlord and property management staff based largely on how well the crew takes care of the little day-to-day things like trash removal. When dumpster enclosures are messy or hazardous, a negative tenant attitude builds steam.

As one janitorial service puts it, it’s critical to maintain a clean and efficient dumpster enclosure for the sake of your reputation as well as the health and safety of your staff.

• Regular staff does a better, more efficient job compared to a high turnover situation.

• Tenants do a better job of cleaning up after themselves when the grounds are kept tidy.

• Loose trash can lead to city fines, negative online reviews, and tenant complaints.

Efficient Ways to Keep Dumpsters Clean

Good trash solutions start with good equipment. Consider what your staff must do to wheel dumpsters around the property for collection. Are you asking valued employees to risk back injuries and muscle pulls by pushing tons of garbage?

One of our clients says her waste caddy has essentially given her an extra employee. “I used to have two guys tied up four hours a day,” she said. Now that the job can be done by one employee, “the other guy is available to do more important things, like respond to resident requests 8 or more hours every week.”

Ultimately, motorized equipment that moves dumpsters, like our lineup of Waste Caddies, enables your staff to work safely and efficiently while also improving tenant morale and retention.

Do yourself a favor and reduce the risk of heavy equipment injuries while taking better care of your waste management with waste caddies from DJ Products.

Highlighting One of Our Top Selling Products the TrailerCaddy Extreme

Moving heavy trailers? Whether it’s down an assembly line or across a dealer’s lot, it’s a cumbersome process requiring time and effort. The TrailerCaddy Extreme, a heavy duty trailer dolly from DJ Products, is so efficient that a single employee can move loads up to 50,000 pounds.

Save Time and Reduce Expenses

As a trailer moves farther along an assembly line, its increasing size makes it difficult to move. Either several employees have to do it manually, or they end up improvising with pallet jacks and other equipment that can damage the trailer.

The job is no easier at a dealer’s lot. An employee has to hook up the trailer to a yard tractor or pick-up truck that affords little flexibility in maneuvering the load around corners or in small spaces.

With the TrailerCaddy Extreme, your employee simply slides the mover in place under one end of the trailer and it’s ready to go. Not only do you save time and money in manpower, but indirect expenses are reduced thanks to fewer injuries and insurance claims.

Powerful and Eco-Friendly

The TrailerCaddy Extreme runs on a heavy-duty 36-volt motor that generates enough power to lift dolly tongues up to 15,000 pounds and move trailers up to 50,000 pounds. Its compact size and adjustable acceleration and braking make operation simple both indoors and out, while ergonomic features like the variable speed twist grip reduce risk of injuries.

As the material handling industry continues to grow on a global scale, how does it evolve to satisfy the needs of a sophisticated and tech-savvy customer base? One of the industry leaders is launching a visionary program to analyze material handling trends and develop creative solutions.

A Groundbreaking Initiative

Toyota Material Handling North America, the world’s largest producer of lift trucks, recently announced the TMHNA University Research Program. Its ultimate goal is to develop a synergistic collaboration between TMHNA and the brightest members of the academic community in order to “find innovative solutions and technologies.”

TMHNA kicked off the initiative with a request for proposals from members of the country’s top research universities. Focus topics include forward-thinking material handling trends such as 3D metal printing, predictive maintenance and big data analysis.

Call for proposals closed August 31, and after a thorough review TMHNA will select several proposals to receive inaugural funding. Projects are expected to begin this month, and based on results, selected faculties may be invited to renew their contracts for up to three years.

In Search of Constant Improvement

Inspiration for the program came from Toyota’s practice of a process known as Kaisen, which means “constant improvement.” Brett Wood, president and CEO of TMHNA, believes the program will produce “breakthroughs that will elevate the entire industry.”
